2017 Map of Java

About this map

Java serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along the southern edge of the survey area where Walworth County meets Campbell County. The town's grid is clearly defined by local landmarks like Chicago St and Helm St, providing a clear view of the settlement’s organization. Outside the town limits, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Hiddenwood Cr and the waters of Hiddenwood Lake. This rural stretch of the Great Plains is dotted with several family and community burial grounds, including the Bender Cem to the north and the Schnaible Cem further south. The presence of multiple denominational sites, such as the United Church of Java Reformed Cem and Congregational Cem, reflects the deep-rooted immigrant and community heritage that shaped this part of South Dakota.
